Verse 1 Faith of our mothers, living yet, In cradle song and bedtime prayer, In nurs’ry love and fireside love, Thy presence still pervades the air: Faith of our mothers, living faith, We will be true to thee till death. Verse 3 Faith of our mothers, guiding faith, For youthful longing—youthful doubt, How blurred our vision, blind our way, Thy providential care without: Faith of our mothers, guiding faith, We will be true to thee till death. Verse 4 Faith of our mothers, Christian faith, In truth beyond our man-made creeds, Still serve the home and save the church, And breathe thy spirit through our deeds: Faith of our mothers, Christian faith, We will be true to thee till death. (Verse 2 omitted.)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP HOLY COMMUNION MINISTRY THROUGH TITHES AND OFFERINGS By: Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane Director of Stewardship & Generosity, Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church
God of unimaginable love, we have known of your caring since we were babies in our mother’s arms. We have been told the stories of your love, and we have sung songs about your love. These things bring us comfort. What challenges us is the command of Jesus, “As I have loved you, so you should love one another” – not just those who think as we do, pray as we do, and look the way that we do. Help us, through our giving, our living, and our loving, to live up to the challenge of loving as you would have us love. In the name of our risen Savior, we pray. Amen. (John 15:9-17)
